Seeing the postings here about all sorts of drugs,
I thought I was the only person who found relief
with some of the methods you list in your post.
I have found that concentrating on blankness, and clearing
my mind of everything will at least bring the pain
down a few notches. In some cases it has even seemed to
break the headache... The pain will begin to subside until
it's gone. It's very tough to do in the middle of a CH
Ice packs will temporarily numb the pain. This can probably help
with the concentration.
Lying flat-- definatly brings it on.
Heat-- well hot or warm air seems to make it worse, but
a hot pack to the affected area will sooth the
pain.
